Barcelona have said they do not want the signing of Sanchez to
become a soap opera or give Udinese the opportunity to ask for more
money, according to Spanish reports.

President Sandro Rossell said: "I am concerned about
the club's economic sustainability. We have to balance the books."

Despite Sanchez wanting to go to Barca instead of City, it seems that
Barcelona are unwilling to match the £40million price tag offered by City.

Barcelona have switched their focus from Sanchez to Juan Mata and Rossi

Barca boss Pep Guardiola has said that both Rossi and Juan Mata meet the outline of what he wants
at Barcelona and the manager has given his approval if the transfer for Chilean Sanchez
is not feasible.

Although the Catalans may also face tough opposition for Rossi from Juventus as President Andrea Agnelli is willing to pay a rumoured £35million for the player.
